PICTures from southampton & FAWLEY

I have just added a few pictures which I took just over eighteen months ago whilst returning on one of the Red Funnel Ferries from a family holiday on the Isle Of Wight in October 2011.

The new ship photographs I have added to my site today are noted below.

Bishu Highway (Vehicles Carrier) IMO 9409340
Svitzer Bristol (Tug) IMO 9280005
Autostar (Vehicles Carrier) IMO 9206786
Tampa (Vehicles Carrier) IMO 8204951
Cumbrian Fisher (Tanker) IMO 9298404

It was a good day to take photographs but if I remember correctly very windy.

Heading South down the Solent the week before it was incredibly windy and I remember having to hang onto my daughter to stop her being blown across the deck. I enjoy going to the Isle of Wight, we have been five times since 2008 staying mostly at a caravan site in East Cowes overlooking the Solent (a great place to sit in the evening and watch the ships go by with a beer) and also in the heart of the countryside in our tent (not so good to watch the ships go by!). I find the place relaxing and particularly on the East Coast there are some nice seaside towns (Sandown and Shanklin) with good beaches and pubs, many having a nautical theme where you can get good food and see the ships come and go. The weather seems better than the mainland too.

    My interest in ships and the sea started back in 2006 when I worked for a couple of years  on the banks of the River Mersey. I have since been on a couple of cruises around the Med and in the Far East and have started to take more interest in researching and photographing some of the ships and other vessels seen on my travels.
